A Message from the Provost

March 18, 2013 - Final Transition to Moodle

As indicated in my Campus Notice of May 17, 2012, our transition from Blackboard to
Moodle, an open-source learning management system (LMS), will be completed by Fall
2013. To date, more than 300 faculty have received Moodle training and many courses
have already been converted.

Beginning July 1, 2013, Blackboard will no longer be accessible. Faculty should export/archive
all courses, files, data, etc. from Blackboard before midnight on June 30. In addition,
faculty teaching this summer should plan to deliver courses in Moodle to avoid interruption
of services.

The Office of Technology, the Center for Faculty Excellence and departmental Moodle
Mentors have worked diligently to help facilitate this transition and will continue
to provide assistance as we move forward with Moodle.
